You know what's funny about Promethea? It's a comic book that definitely wouldn't appeal to children (vide: the Kabbalah story arc) and which has full frontal nudity and unmistakable sex, and yet the swears are bleeped out. Oh Alan Moore, you crazy, crazy man.

Reprints Promethea #19-25. Promethea and Barbara complete they journey through the spirit worlds and Promethea returns to Earth to find Stacia and Grace's relationship has become a problem. The story in Promethea isn't easy. Until about halfway through this book, the story is for the most part a philosophical journey.

This series is pretty much a collection of Alan Moore's belief about the power of imagination, story, magic, and well, tarot. If you're not really into the subject, please grab another book.

Their stupid, boring, intermidible quest.
Luckily, Sophie's return to earth also marks a return to plot. Though that she's met God and been assured of her purpose, some of the other Prometheas are les...more

Again, the Kabbalah adventure is good, but not completely fulfilling, and is boring at times. The other half, which continues the story arc of Promethea, is vital.

I'm loving the whole series, though all the Kaballah and Tarot stuff gets a little confusing. But the artwork is fantastic, and I love how it changes with the story.

My favorite of the set. Where the meat of the journey and adventure really occur. A little unnecessarily heady, but such is Alan Moore...

A heavy focus on kabbalah and tarot, both of which I find fascinating.
